An example of excellent college science fostering

http://www.ncsu.edu/featured-stories/intl-connections/april-2009/tb-test/index.php

at NC state, some students have developed by far the simplest and fastest reliable TB test in existence.

Read down below:

"The groundbreaking device is just the latest technological marvel to emerge from NC State, where university officials launched a campuswide entrepreneurship initiative last year to expand on the success of the engineering program. NC State holds 641 active patents and has another 141 pending. It's spun off 72 start-up companies based on technology developed by university researchers.

Programs like the Engineering Entrepreneurship Program are transforming students' classroom experiences, confronting them with real-world problems and training them to think like the world's most successful entrepreneurs."


Awesome device, equally awesome program. Good job, NC State.
